Firehouse Dog Publishing author Dayna Hilton and her fire safety dogs received a testimonial from Crestview Elementary in Ohio regarding a Skype visit that the fire safety dogs, Firefighter Jim and Firefirefighter Dayna had done in October. Thank you to everyone at Crestview Elementary for the wonderful review!
"The second grade students at Crestview Elementary had the opportunity to do a Skype visit with author Dayna Hilton and Firefighter Jim. The students and teachers were so excited about the visit and were not disappointed. Firefighter Dayna was enthusiastic about her book and teaching the students about fire safety. The students loved listening to Firefighter Dayna read her story. They were especially excited to be able to listen to Firefighter Jim introduce and read Ms. Hilton's newest book Sparkles goes to Boston. The students learned many fire safety tips, sang songs and were able to ask questions. It was a very exciting time and one that the students or teachers of Crestview won't soon forget! Thank you for this wonderful opportunity Firefighter Dayna, Tango and Siren." Crestview Elementary
